Rutland Area Robotics is a 501c3 non-profit organization that supports K-12 robotics teams in Central Vermont.
We strive to instill a passion for science, technology, engineering, and math in our team members. Students learn project management skills and how to work as part of a team. These are the future engineers that will become the workforce upon graduation from college. Our goal is to give them the abilities they need to excel in the workplace. We are always looking for new members, mentors, and sponsors.
FIRST LEGO LEAGUE CHALLENGE
Friendly competition is at the heart of Challenge, as teams of students ages 9-16* engage in research, problem-solving, coding, and engineering - building and programming a LEGO robot that navigates the missions of a robot game.
FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION
Under strict rules and limited time and resources, teams of high school students are challenged to build industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game in alliance with other teams, while also fundraising to meet their goals, designing a team “brand,” and advancing respect and appreciation for STEM within the local community.
“We created a sport as exciting as every other—but the only one where every kid on every team has the chance to turn pro.”
— Dean Kamen
